Now that used to cause no end of problems with funny prefixes and things but 
now that I've finished with the patches for the day, I tested with:
export LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
in the terminal and started from there. Putting that in ~/.bashrc will have 
the same effect each time. Not sure if the case matters for the suffix.

It's now fine. Problem solved. Account summary and reports are fine - no pango 
warnings, no missing currency symbols or numbers and no funny prefixes.

The default isn't to use UTF-8, is this something we need to document 
somewhere? (apart from the list archive).

The section in GNOME2_STATUS can be removed whenever anyone is next editing 
it.
